The Democratic Republic of Bharathvarsh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.918 billion Bharathvasis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bharathvarsh City. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bharathvarshian economy, worth a remarkable 3,349 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,986 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and time flies when you're not having fun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bharathvarsh's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bharathvarsh is ranked 5,456^th in the world and 258^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
